Lumière Blanche

I'm a nut. I struggle with sandalwood, yet I blindbuy this! The reviews got the best of me, and my favorite note is cardamom (plus, it had a pretty good discount on it's pricetag). First off, yes, I certainly like this. Secondly, I get so little cardamom and milkyness (I might have to get acclimatised to the sandalwood, to be able to smell anything else through it's thick fog). I get about 85% sandalwood, 15% anis/almond/cardamom. Certainly a sandalwood scent, first and foremost. Perfectly unisex too, it doesn't really lean this or that way, but manages to balance right between the sexes - almost a bit androgynous. The problem with Lumiere Blance isn't so much that it is weak. It's rather that the opening is extremely strong and the drydown is quite intimate. IMO applying tons is quite unbarable (I tried just that an hour ago, and I am finally able to breathe). Much stronger than I expected from the reviews and it feels like it is projecting fine. Once upon a time I owned a Mystic shop in my hometown. I imported mysore sandal soap bars. People went crazy for that shit. I never got it. People in general seem to adore sandalwood. Except me, I hated that soap. And when people looked at me in exitedment and exclaimed "it smells soo good!!!?!" I probably looked as confused as I actually was or laughed akwardly. I can't lie. I didn't have to either, the darn sandalwood soap sold itself. ...fast forward to what feels like another lifetime, and lo and behold, I think I may be starting to actually like sandalwood myself! UPDATE: OK, SO I WAS WRONG IN MANY WAYS... This is not 90% sandalwood and it's not sharp or intens in the first hour anymore. My poor nose couldn't smell anything past the wood in the beginning, but I sure have acclimatised now. And I am so in love it almost hurts ♥️ I get the milky vail and all the gorgeous spices. It is so comforting and beautiful. It somehow smells extremely "right" on skin, maybe it's the contribution on the musk that gives off that impression to me. Anyway, the heart of this perfume is just perfect in every way. But, yes, it is soft. I've made quite a huge dent in my bottle already, which is crazy considering how recently I bought it. I doubt it would suit this scent to have a huge sillage, but I do wish it was just a bit more potent. Anyway, this is my favorite atm and I highly recommend it! Also, I usually don't comment on this, but the design is so cool. The color of the juice, the fonts, the bottle design - it all suits the scent perfectly

This niche perfume line was completely inspired by the art of photography. Lumière Blanche is an Eau de Parfum, which according to the creator of the brand, Céline Verleure, although unisex, has a more immediate feminine interpretation, causing a quick identification with the genre. The photographer of this work was Massimo Vitali and the inspiration was the white light and, therefore, the name of the fragrance. According to Massimo, "the white light is the experience of brightness, a saturation". The perfumer was Sidonie Lancesseur, responsible for several hits of Grés, Frapin, By Kilian, etc. The fragrance is composed of notes of cardamom, star anise (badiane) and cinnamon in the output; in the heart, were added notes of almond milk, cashmere wood, and Lily. And finally, notes of cedar, sandalwood, coumarin and white musk at the base. Just taking the notes, it would be odd if the result wasn't fantastic. The scent hits the skin creamy, with an aroma that comes to remember coconut, but is drier, a result of the cardamom added with the cinnamon. At the same time, it is extremely clear and refreshing, although don't count on citrus notes in the output. Then, goes to a voyage filled with light woods, with a delicate lily that, along with a beautiful musk, make the contrast between the hot and the cold, between the softness and warmth of spices. The projection is not too large, because it is a perfume made for exude without offending. But the durability is worthy of an Eau de Parfum and can be worn, easily, in warmer climates. With Lumière Blanche, is midday forever!

A woody spicy perfume... Lots of milk that mixed with light cardamon and sandal wood. It reminds me of a sunny day or drinking a cardamon tea in a luxory house whith new woody furniture! Luminous and bright. You can wear it all year round except summer's hot days. . اسم عطر، رنگ مایع و عکسی که همراهشه و قراره فضای بویایی کار رو تداعی کنه نوید مواجهه با رایحه ای سفید، روشن و آفتابی رو میده. لومییِر بلنش از نگاه نت محور یک کار چوبی شیری به همراه شیرینی برجسته و البته تلطیف شده ی ادویه ای هست که مشک در پس زمینه ش حضور اساسی داره و در نت پایانی نمود بیشتری خواهد داشت. . چوب صندل با اون شیرینی لطیف و کرمیش و همچنین بادیان در شیرین شدن عطر نقش دارن اما بخش مهمی از شیرینیِ عطر، مربوط به هل میشه. من با هل به سختی ارتباط میگیرم ولی این کار به زیبایی هل رو از اون حالت تیز و سنگین خارج کرده و پوششی از یک بوی چوبی شیری و کمی برنج مانند (ناشی از ترکیب شیربادام و صندل) مثل یک پتوی نرم و سفید اون رو در بر گرفته. . حس شیری خامه ای در این کار نقش مهمی داره رنگ مایع عطر هم موید این قضیه هست. این حس توسط نت شیربادام موجود در عطر ایجاد شده و ممکنه این ترکیبِ شیری، که رایحه ای شیرین همراهیش میکنه شمارو در لحظاتی یاد شیرعسل یا تافی شیری هم بندازه. . میدونید که یک سری عطرها میتونن تداعی کننده ی فضاهای خاصی در ذهن ما باشن. خوردن یک لیوان شیرعسل زیر نور ملایم آفتاب صبحگاهی؟ شاید... اما نه فضایی که این عطر برای من یادآوری میکنه فضای خونه هست! خونه ای لوکس مملو از نور آفتاب با وسایل چوبی نو و عطر چایی هل و برنجی که در فضا پیچیده و با بوی چوب نو مخلوط شده! . بنظرم به غیر از روزهای گرم و آفتابی که خود عطر فضاش رو بازسازی کرده استفاده از این عطر برای هرچهارفصل مناسبه...

Another day testing Olfactive Studio’s perfumes, another instant love. This (totally underrated) brand is phenomenal. Lumiere Blanche is the perfect fall scent to me. Very soft, delicate, cozy and fluffy, comforting type of perfume. It’s first and foremost an elegant blend of cardamom, anise, almonds, iris, sandalwood, cashmere wood and cinnamon on a sweet tonka bean, musky base. This scent is one of those that I I would add to the category of understated luxury. Really high quality ingredients and flawless blend, but not too in your face. Alluring, sensual and nothing like I expected when looking at the notes listed. Seeing so many spices and woods in the composition, I imagined something way more masculine but Lumiere Blanche is very feminine in my opinion. The iris flower and the tonka beans do a really great job at balancing out the more masculine ones. Performance is not the best, I’m not going to lie, it’s one of those second skin/your skin but better type of scents. But for as long as it lasts, you’re going to smell like a princess. It’s so good, give it a try!! As soon as I can get a bottle of Lumiere Blanche on some sort of deal, this will be my third bottle of a perfume from Olfactive Studio I own. It’s something unique to my collection.

I blind bought this because I was interested in the concept, I love sandalwood and musk, and the perfumer is Sidonie Lancesseur. First impression: Love every facet ❤️.Very cool perfumery because the perfumer managed to make this foggy, laconic, watery, creamy, smooth, and somehow cold and warm simultaneously. This scent matches the photograph of people sunbathing on an iceberg perfectly. It opens slightly buzzy with anise, and cardamom that gives the feeling of cold air and fog - then launches into an almond milk, mixed with coconut milk, sunscreen and a creamy sandalwood vibe. Drydown is white woods and musk.Overall it feels like the color white, and later like bright sunlight, before settling cold. However, I swear this is one of the worst performing niche fragrances I've ever encountered. ZERO projection, even when my arms are still damp with fragrance! Be prepared to put on 25 sprays for 4 hours if you are lucky. I'm not kidding. Maybe I got a bad batch, idk. -------------------------------- Summary: GREAT smell, TERRIBLE performance. You will burn through your bottle fast AF like I did, and this stuff isn't cheap. If they fix the performance, I'd buy another bottle. --------------------------------- Scent 9/10 Performance 1/10
